Chapter 1255 - Leaving (2/2)

“What? Jail? How did you get her into jail?”

Instead of answering, Qiao Yanze merely put his hands in his pockets and walked out.

Nan Zhi chased after him for a few steps. “Uncle, since you already put down the hatred in the past, shouldn’t you consider settling down? I heard some young ladies are interested in you. What do you think?”

Qiao Yanze didn’t stop her, merely saying, “I’ll consider it.”

…

After Qiao Yanze left, Nan Zhi brought Yi Fan and a lawyer to XX Jail.

Even though she was the Queen, she still had to follow the proper procedures to bail people out of jail. When Cen Xi was brought out again, she never thought that she would see Nan Zhi here.

“Your Majesty?” Cen Xi thought she had seen wrongly.

Who was she to have a Queen come and bail her out personally?

Nan Zhi nodded at Cen Xi. “I’ve understood a little about your situation. It’s nothing big and you just have to explain things clearly. Don’t be stubborn either. Tell those people what happened properly, that you have no relation to Young Master Li and aimed your crossbow at my Uncle because you were scared. It’s understandable, since Uncle wanted to disregard your safety and attack Young Master Li.”

Cen Xi’s long lashes fluttered. “I… actually never thought of shooting him for real.”

“I know, Cen Xi.”

Since Nan Zhi was here to bail her out, everything was done really smoothly. Once the procedures were settled, Nan Zhi led Cen Xi out. However, Cen Xi suddenly stopped.

Nan Zhi glanced at Cen Xi, who looked like she wanted to speak, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Cen Xi bowed at Nan Zhi. “Your Majesty, I-I have a favor to ask from you.” Although Cen Xi didn’t know Gu Meng for long, they felt like they had been longtime friends. When the female inmates wanted to bully her, Gu Meng would stand up for her. That type of righteousness was rarely seen nowadays.

She couldn’t ignore Gu Meng now that she could leave. Besides, Gu Meng had never committed a crime. She had been detained for more than two months now, having suffered more than enough.

Nan Zhi glanced at Cen Xi. Seeing her act so serious, Nan Zhi nodded. “Say it. Let’s see if I can help you.”

“I met a friend in jail. Her name is Gu Meng. She trespa.s.sed the area during your wedding with the King and was ordered to be detained here by the Third Prince. However, she’s innocent…”

Hearing Gu Meng’s name, surprise flashed in Nan Zhi’s pretty eyes. “Gu Meng, as in Mengmeng?”

Cen Xi looked up at Nan Zhi. “Your Majesty knows Mengmeng too?”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Yes. Wait here for me, I’ll go and settle this.”

After about half an hour, Nan Zhi led Gu Meng out.

Nan Zhi stared at the two girls with a fair degree of heartache. “I’ll bring you two to the mall to buy some clothes first, before we go and get some supper. As for the men who sent you here, let’s ignore them for now. Rest and heal yourselves first! They’ll be the ones who regret it later.”

Gu Meng and Cen Xi stared at the Queen, who was so approachable and was even thinking for them, their eyes turning red from being so touched.

Soon after, Nan Zhi brought them to the branded mall Xiao Yi owned. When Xia Yanran found out, she hurriedly got Xiao Yi to take her over.

Once she arrived, Xia Yanran led the group to a brand’s flags.h.i.+p store, saying generously, “Just take anything you like.”
